Market Environment Overview

(unaudited)

 

The U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, returned 2.92% for the twelve month fiscal period that ended August 31, 2019 (the “period”).

In the final four months of 2018, the positive trend in U.S. equities reversed, and the S&P 500® Index experienced a market correction of -13.03%. Importantly, the end of 2018 marked the first calendar year loss for the S&P 500® Index since the 2008 financial crisis. Key drivers of negative returns and heightened volatility in the final four months of 2018 were concerns about the sustainability of U.S. corporate earnings growth, U.S. credit quality, as well as fears of slowing global trade and economic growth.

In the last four months of 2018, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raised the benchmark rate two times, equating to a cumulative increase of 0.50%. Meanwhile, the Consumer Price Index decreased from its 2018 peak and U.S. inflation expectations, as measured by the difference between the nominal and real 10-year U.S. Treasury yields, fell below the +2.0% threshold, a signal from the market that additional Fed rate hikes in late 2018 and beyond may not be warranted.

In the first quarter of 2019 the U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rebounded sharply to return +13.65%. Indicators of economic growth signaled a mix of moderating growth and continued strength. Purchasing Managers’ Index survey data decreased, although the level remained consistent with the average it had been across periods of economic expansion. Meanwhile, payroll wage, and unemployment data exceeded expectations. The delayed release of fourth-quarter and full-year 2018 gross domestic product (“GDP”) fueled positive equity market returns — 2018 real GDP growth of +2.9% was stronger than anticipated and marked a rate of expansion that had only been reached two other times since 2005. The Fed also paused its multi-year rate hike program for the time being and stressed that further rate actions would be data dependent. Easing monetary policy and more constructive U.S.-China trade negotiations drove positive sentiment in U.S. equity markets.

The second quarter of 2019 was characterized by a continued relief rally in U.S. stocks through April 2019, followed by a sell-off in May 2019, and a subsequent recovery in June 2019. The release of stronger than anticipated first quarter GDP growth as well the continuation of solid jobs and wages gains alongside record low unemployment levels helped drive positive equity market returns in April 2019. In early May 2019, U.S.-China trade negotiations broke down — the U.S. increased tariffs to 25% from 10% on $200 billion in Chinese goods, and China responded in-kind by raising tariffs on U.S. imports. Leading up to the Fed June 2019 meeting, core inflation remained below the Fed’s 2% target, manufacturing survey data slightly deteriorated, and the May 2019 jobs report came in meaningfully below expectations. In June 2019, the Fed’s outlook for the U.S. economy was markedly uncertain. The Fed left its target monetary policy rate unchanged and indicated that future rate action would be taken if needed to sustain the U.S. economic expansion. Expectations for future Fed rate cuts along with resumption of U.S.-China trade negotiations at the upcoming G-20 forum led U.S. equities higher through the end of June 2019 to return +4.30% in the second quarter of 2019.

The S&P 500® Index was mostly unchanged from July 2019 through August 2019, returning -0.17%. The release of second quarter GDP showed that U.S. economic growth slowed to 2.0% from 3.1% in the first quarter of 2019. Strong consumer spending was a tailwind for U.S. GDP, while a decline in investment and inventories as well as an increase in the trade deficit depressed U.S. economic growth. At the end of July 2019, the Fed cut the benchmark rate by 0.25% for the first time since 2008. In early August 2019, U.S. President Trump stated that the U.S. would impose an additional 10% tariff on $300 billion in Chinese imports in September 2019, which increased volatility and negatively impacted U.S. equity and fixed income markets. Investors flocked to gold, widely considered a safe-haven asset, which drove gold futures to their highest level since 2013. The announcement of new tariffs on imports from China as well as further evidence of a slowdown in global economic growth, particularly in China and Germany, were headwinds on U.S. equity returns, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, from July 2019 through August 2019.

Market Environment Overview

(unaudited) (continued)

 

Over the fiscal period ended August 31, 2019, U.S. short-term interest rates increased and long-term interest rates decreased resulting in inversion at the short-end of the U.S. Treasury yield curve (an anomaly that is generally seen as a recession indicator if it persists for a protracted period of time). The midpoint of the Fed funds rate target range increased 0.25% to 2.125% while the 2-Year U.S. Treasury Note yield fell 1.12% to 1.50% and the 10-Year U.S. Treasury yield fell 1.36% to 1.50%. The closely monitored spread between the 2- and 10-Year U.S. Treasury yields entirely flattened from 0.24% to 0.00% over the period. The rise in short-term rates was driven by relatively tighter monetary policy throughout most of the period, while the drop in long-term rates reflected the outlook for slowing global economic growth, declining inflation expectations, as well as the loosening of Fed monetary policy beginning in July 2019.

Through early January 2019, investment grade and high yield bond spreads, as measured by the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Master Option-Adjusted Spread and the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Option-Adjusted Spread, both expanded 0.42% and 1.95%, respectively, reflecting fears of slowing global trade and economic growth as well as a potential for deteriorating U.S. credit quality. Early January 2019 marked the peak in investment grade and high yield bond spreads for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2019. From early January 2019 through the end of August 2019, investment grade and high yield bond spreads tightened, reflecting expectations for easing monetary policy and a more constructive outlook on U.S. credit quality. As of August 31, 2019, investment grade bond spreads tightened 0.38% from the January 2019 peak and modestly widened by 0.04% from the beginning of the twelve month period ended August 31, 2019. Meanwhile, high-yield bond spreads tightened 1.35% from the January 2019 peak, but widened 0.60% from the beginning of the twelve month period ended August 31, 2019.

Emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, returned -2.82% in local currency terms and -4.36% in U.S. dollar terms over the twelve month period ended August 31, 2019. For much of the period, broad strength in the U.S. dollar hurt foreign emerging market currencies. Argentina, and commodity exporting countries including Colombia, Mexico, and Chile experienced even greater negative currency performance due to either country-specific economic shocks or due to elevated sensitivity to a slowdown in global trade. The Argentine peso weakened 38.02% versus the U.S. dollar during the period. A sharp contraction in Argentinian economic activity in the fourth quarter of 2018 combined with rampant inflation, high unemployment, and a large fiscal deficit sunk the peso, despite a sizeable financial support program from the International Monetary Fund. In August 2019, the Argentine peso tumbled after Argentinian President Mauricio Macri unexpectedly lost a primary vote. Macri later introduced several measures to help combat high unemployment and double-digit inflation in the nation; additionally, the Argentine government sought to restructure its debt with the International Monetary Fund.

Signals of a slowdown in China were a meaningful headwind on emerging market equity returns at the end of 2018 — China’s GDP growth slowed to a level last experienced in 2009. The country’s manufacturing activity contracted while trade activity also provided evidence of the negative impact from the U.S.-China trade dispute. These factors all contributed to growing concerns around slowing demand for global products and resources from China. Additionally, many emerging market countries with economies that are heavily reliant on the performance of the energy market were negatively impacted by a 40% drop in crude oil futures in the fourth quarter of 2018 due to oversupply. Economic stimulus implemented by the Chinese government and easing trade tensions with the U.S. were substantial drivers of positive equity market performance in China as well as in export-oriented countries in the first quarter of 2019. Expectations for flat-to-lower U.S. interest rates also bolstered emerging market returns in the first quarter of 2019. Energy-centric economies benefited from a recovery in oil prices following a cut in global production in early 2019. Positive sentiment around global trade was somewhat offset by troubled emerging market economies, including a slow recovery in Argentina, as well as contracting GDP in South Africa, South Korea, and Indonesia.

Market Environment Overview

(unaudited) (concluded)

 

Emerging market equities sold-off in May 2019, driven by the breakdown in U.S.-China trade negotiations. A less constructive outlook for global trade negatively impacted oil prices amid mounting concerns about oversupply and low demand. Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Modi was reelected for a second five-year term, which was a positive catalyst for Indian equities during the second quarter of 2019. The resumption of U.S.-China trade negotiations in June 2019 alongside falling oil inventories and increased expectations for easing monetary policy in the developed world, especially in the U.S., led emerging market equities to recover through June 2019.

Emerging market equity returns, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, were negative from July 2019 through August 2019, in both local and USD terms. Slowing growth in major global economies, and U.S. President Trump’s announcement of additional tariffs on Chinese goods negatively impacted emerging market equities. Signs of economic slowdown in China were the major headwind on emerging market equity returns: Chinese manufacturing activity contracted, and the nation’s GDP growth slowed to 6.2%, marking the weakest quarterly pace since 1992. The escalation of the U.S.-China trade dispute in early August 2019 led China’s currency to weaken beyond the psychologically important level of 7 yuan-to-USD. Central banks in several other emerging market countries, including South Korea, Indonesia, South Africa, India, Mexico, Turkey, Brazil, and Thailand, cut their benchmark rates, reflecting weakening global trade and demand. South Korea was also negatively impacted by trade disputes on two fronts — U.S.-China trade tensions dampened exports of technology inputs and other components to China, and Japan removed South Korea from its list of preferred trading partners. Falling oil prices were also a drag on emerging market equity market returns and concerns about oversupply were a headwind for major oil exporters, like Mexico and Colombia.

Information about Performance and Shareholder Expense Examples (unaudited)

Performance

The performance tables on the following pages are provided for comparative purposes and represent the period noted. Each Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market price return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market price returns is the midpoint of the bid and ask price for Fund shares as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. NAV and market price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively. As with other ETFs, NAV returns and market price returns may differ because of factors such as the supply and demand for Fund shares and investors’ assessments of the underlying value of a Fund’s portfolio securities.

Fund shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from a Fund. Fund NAV returns are calculated using a Fund’s daily 4:00 p.m. eastern time NAV. Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid and ask price as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. Market price returns do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Total returns for a period of less than one year are cumulative.

Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Investment returns and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore, index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and an index is not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Funds’ performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes on transactions in Fund shares or taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. For the most recent month-end performance information visit www.wisdomtree.com.

Shareholder Expense Examples

Each Fund’s performance table is accompanied by a shareholder expense example. As a shareholder of a WisdomTree Fund, you incur two types of cost: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of your Fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2019 to August 31, 2019. Except where noted, expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized expense ratio (after the effect of contractual or voluntary fee waivers, if any), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized expense ratio does not include acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFEs”), which are fees and expenses incurred indirectly by a Fund through its investments in certain underlying investment companies.

Actual expenses

The first line in the shareholder expense example table shown on the following pages provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the shareholder expense example table shown on the following pages provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing Fund costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The WisdomTree Bloomberg U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to provide total returns, before fees and expenses, that exceed the performance of the Bloomberg Dollar Total Return Index (the ‘‘Index’’). The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in short-term securities and instruments designed to potentially benefit as the U.S. dollar appreciates in value relative to a basket of global currencies. Although the Fund invests in short-term, investment grade instruments, the Fund is not a ‘‘money market’’ fund and it is not the objective of the Fund to maintain a constant share price.

The Fund returned 6.09% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). The last twelve months featured a “strong dollar” environment in foreign exchange markets, where the value of the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to a broad basket of foreign currencies. Elevated uncertainty in global equity markets, marked by geopolitical risks and a global economic slowdown, increased demand for what investors perceive to be high quality and safe investments, such as dollar-denominated U.S. Treasury securities. The increased demand strengthened the U.S. dollar further, especially as foreign investors would have to use their currencies to buy U.S. dollars and then purchase U.S. Treasury debt and other U.S. dollar-denominated assets. The Fund’s short positioning to European currencies, such as the Euro and British pound, were particularly additive due to geopolitical and economic uncertainties in the region weighing on the relative strength of each. The Fund’s positioning with respect to the Japanese yen and Mexican peso were primary detractors from Fund performance.

The WisdomTree Chinese Yuan Strategy Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in China available to foreign investors and changes in value of the Chinese yuan relative to the U.S. dollar. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in short-term securities and instruments designed to provide exposure to Chinese currency and money market rates. The Chinese yuan is a developing market currency, which can experience periods of significant volatility. Although the Fund invests in short-term, investment grade instruments, the Fund is not a ‘‘money market’’ fund and it is not the objective of the Fund to maintain a constant share price.

The Fund returned -1.59% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). During the past fiscal year, the Fund’s performance was driven primarily by Chinese yuan’s fluctuation due to the U.S.-China trade war. The Chinese yuan was relatively stable during the fourth quarter of 2018. However, in early January 2019, the Chinese yuan had a sharp up-tick, an appreciation of 1.5% due to a weakened U.S. dollar and investors’ optimism for a U.S.-China trade deal. The intensification of the U.S.-China trade war led to the depreciation of yuan in August 2019, when the People’s Bank of China set the currency’s daily exchange rate to more than 7 Chinese yuan to 1 U.S. dollar. The Fund fell 1.9% after the devaluation of yuan in one day. The aggravated relationship between the U.S. and China resulted in a further depreciation of the yuan, which contributed to the Fund’s negative return overall during the fiscal year.

The WisdomTree Emerging Currency Strategy Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in selected emerging market countries available to foreign investors and changes to the value of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in short-term securities and instruments designed to provide exposure to the currencies and money market rates of selected emerging market countries. Emerging market currencies can experience periods of significant volatility. Although the Fund invests in short-term, investment grade instruments, the Fund is not a ‘‘money market’’ fund and it is not the objective of the Fund to maintain a constant share price.

The Fund returned 3.12% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). During the past fiscal year, the Fund’s performance was driven primarily by emerging market’s currency fluctuations. In particular, the currencies include the Brazilian real, Chilean peso, Colombian peso, and Mexican peso from Latin America; Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, Malaysian ringgit, Philippine peso, South Korean won, Taiwanese dollar, and Thai baht from Asia; Polish zloty, Russian ruble, South African rand, and Turkish lira from Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2018 and first quarter of 2019, the Fund generated a positive return due to global investors’ optimism of a trade deal between the U.S. and China as well as an optimistic outlook for economic growth in emerging markets. However, since the escalation of the U.S.-China trade war in June 2019, poor growth expectation for emerging markets led to the depreciation of emerging market currencies. As central banks across emerging markets started cutting rates, the value of emerging market currencies rebounded to offset the loss.

The WisdomTree Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks a high level of total return consisting of both income and capital appreciation. The Fund attempts to achieve its objective through investments in debt securities issued by corporate entities that are domiciled in, or economically tied to, emerging market countries.

The Fund returned 10.69% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). The largest contributors to the Fund’s performance were its overweight positions in Brazil, Turkey, and Russia. The largest detractors to the Fund’s performance were its positions in Argentina and Jamaica. The Fund’s performance was driven largely by the rate movement across emerging markets. Due to the escalation of the U.S.-China trade war, the uncertainty of Brexit, and the falling expectation of global economic growth, most emerging markets rates fell. This led to a higher return on emerging market corporate bonds with bond coupons contributing significantly to the returns. During the fiscal year, emerging market corporate bonds in general rallied as investors fled to the asset class to capture price increases as interest rates on emerging market corporate bonds fell.

The WisdomTree Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks a high level of total return consisting of both income and capital appreciation. The Fund attempts to achieve its objective through investments in fixed income instruments denominated in the local currencies of emerging market countries.

The Fund returned 11.54% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). The largest contributor to the Fund’s performance was its overweight position in Brazil. The largest detractor to the Fund’s performance was its position in Argentina. The Fund’s performance was driven largely by the rate movement across emerging markets region. Due to the escalation of the U.S.-China trade war, the uncertainty of Brexit, and the falling expectation of global economic growth, most developed market rates fell significantly. During the first and second quarter of 2019, the decline of rates in the developed market led to a fall in emerging markets rates. There is an inverse relationship between bond rates and bond prices (i.e. when bond rates rise, bond prices fall, and vice-versa), as a result, these rate movements contributed positively to the Fund’s performance for the fiscal year as emerging market rates fell which led to an increase in the overall valuation of the bonds held in the Fund’s portfolio.

The WisdomTree Floating Rate Treasury Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Floating Rate Bond Index (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests in floating rate public obligations of the U.S. Treasury. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned 2.06% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). The floating rate nature of this strategy has allowed the Fund to benefit from rising short-term U.S. rates while minimizing the impact of a gradual rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). Over the fiscal year, the Fed raised rates twice and then began to enact rate cuts (with one rate cut occurring toward the end of the fiscal year) due to global economic concerns. During a falling rate environment, the spreads of the floating rate notes increased due to less demand at the individual note auctions. This caused higher yields over its U.S. T-bill counterparts and helped to dampen an otherwise falling treasury yield curve. During the fiscal year, yields on U.S. Treasuries declined as follows: the 10-year yield fell from 2.86% to 1.50%, the 5-year yield decreased from 2.74% to 1.39%, the 2-year yields decreased from 2.62% to 1.50%, and the 3-month yield decreased from 2.11% to 1.99%.

The WisdomTree Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch 0-5 Year U.S. High Yield Constrained, Zero Duration Index (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests mainly in short-term non-investment grade U.S. corporate fixed income securities having effective maturities generally shorter than five years and obtains short exposure to U.S. Treasuries such that the Fund’s total portfolio duration approximates zero years. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned 1.68% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). As interest rates fell dramatically over the fiscal year, the Fund faced headwinds from its position in short U.S. Treasury futures contracts it used to hedge out the duration exposure of the Fund’s long bond positions. As a result, the Fund’s zero duration strategy was a drag on performance. Due to a flat and inverted yield curve during the period, the Fund at times benefited from hedging out its duration exposure, net of the interest earned from the collateral posted for the futures contracts. However, overall, the Fund’s use of short futures contracts on U.S. Treasuries detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year. The Fund’s positions in longer-term corporates benefited more so than the shorter-term corporates. High yield spreads widened leading into the end of 2018, as the market faced a risk-off environment, causing high yield corporates to underperform. However, from the beginning of 2019 to the end of the fiscal year, high yield spreads tightened, and high yield corporates began to outperform.

The WisdomTree Interest Rate Hedged U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg Barclays Rate Hedged U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, Zero Duration (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests mainly in U.S. investment grade fixed income securities and obtains short exposure to U.S. Treasuries such that the Fund’s total portfolio duration approximates zero years. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned 2.69% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). As interest rates fell dramatically over the fiscal year, the Fund faced headwinds from its position in short U.S. Treasury futures contracts it used to hedge out the duration exposure of the Fund’s long bond positions. As a result, the Fund’s zero duration strategy was a drag on performance. Due to a flat and inverted yield curve during the period, the Fund at times benefited from hedging out its duration exposure, net of the interest earned from the collateral posted for the futures contracts. However, overall, the Fund’s use of short futures contracts on U.S. Treasuries detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year. The Fund’s long positions in long-term bonds and corporates benefited performance and helped to offset larger losses from the futures contracts, as spreads tightened and corporates outperformed during the fiscal year.

The WisdomTree Negative Duration High Yield Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch 0-5 Year U.S. High Yield Constrained, Negative Seven Duration Index (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests mainly in short-term non-investment grade U.S. corporate fixed income securities having effective maturities generally shorter than five years and obtains short exposure to U.S. Treasuries such that the Fund’s total portfolio duration approximates negative seven years. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned -8.18% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). As interest rates fell dramatically over the fiscal year, the Fund faced headwinds from its position in short U.S. Treasury futures contracts it used to hedge out the duration exposure of the Fund’s long bond positions. As a result, the Fund’s negative duration strategy was a drag on performance. Due to a flat and inverted yield curve during the period, the Fund at times benefited from hedging out its duration exposure, net of the interest earned from the collateral posted for the futures contracts. However, overall, the Fund’s use of short futures contracts on U.S. Treasuries detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year. The Fund’s positions in longer-term corporates benefited more so than the shorter-term corporates. High yield spreads widened leading into the end of 2018, as the market faced a risk-off environment causing high yield corporates to underperform. However, from the beginning of 2019 to the end of the fiscal year, high yield spreads tightened, and high yield corporates began to outperform.

The WisdomTree Yield Enhanced Global Aggregate Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Enhanced Yield Index (USD Hedged) (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund mainly invests in global investment grade fixed income securities while attempting to neutralize the exposure to the fluctuation in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and and other characteristics of the Index as a whole. The Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds (each, an ‘‘Underlying Fund’’) that invests in component securities of the Index or securities that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of such component securities.

The Fund returned 13.24% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal period from December 13, 2018 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2019 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). Its position in U.S. fixed income, proxied by its investment in the WisdomTree Yield Enhanced U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund, was additive for performance, as it was able to outpace the broader bond market during a period where fixed income investments were in high demand. Elevated uncertainty in global equity markets, marked by geopolitical risks and an economic slowdown, increased demand for what investors perceived to be higher quality investments, such as developed market sovereign debt and investment grade corporate debt. As a result, the Fund’s positions in global corporate, government, mortgage-backed, and U.S. Treasury debt aided performance due to the increased global demand for yield. During the fiscal period, the Fund utilized forward foreign currency contracts to offset applicable international currency exposure from positions in international bonds. The Fund’s use of forward foreign currency contracts contributed positively to Fund performance as a result of the U.S. dollar strengthening against applicable international currencies during the fiscal period.

The WisdomTree Yield Enhanced U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Enhanced Yield Index (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests mainly in U.S. investment grade fixed income securities. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned 11.92% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). Falling rates over the fiscal year positively affected performance due to the Fund’s longer duration relative to the benchmark. Investment grade spreads widened from the beginning of the fiscal year through the end of 2018, but then tightened for the remainder of the fiscal year, remaining relatively unchanged overall. The Fund’s overweight to investment grade credit securities and underweight to U.S. Treasury securities contributed positively to performance as a result. From a sector perspective, the Fund’s overweight to Energy sector corporate bonds contributed negatively to performance as oil prices fell over the fiscal year. However, the Fund’s sector overweight to Financials contributed positively to performance. The Fund’s position in longer-term corporate bonds contributed positively to performance while its position in shorter-term government bonds contributed less positively to performance. In addition, the Fund benefited from its overweight to Baa-rated bonds (rating levels from Aaa through Baa — ranked highest to lowest — constitute the “investment grade” portion of the credit spectrum) as spreads tightened throughout the bottom tier of the investment grade spectrum.

The WisdomTree Yield Enhanced U.S. Short-Term Aggregate Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Short Aggregate Enhanced Yield Index (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests mainly in short-term U.S. investment grade fixed income securities having effective maturities generally shorter than five years. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned 6.43% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). Falling rates over the fiscal year positively affected performance due to the Fund’s longer duration relative to the benchmark. Investment grade spreads widened from the beginning of the fiscal year through the end of 2018, but then tightened for the remainder of the fiscal year, remaining relatively unchanged overall. The Fund’s overweight to investment grade credit securities and underweight to U.S. Treasury securities contributed positively to performance as a result. From a sector perspective, the Fund’s overweight to Energy sector corporate bonds contributed negatively to performance as oil prices fell over the fiscal year. However, the Fund’s sector overweight to Financials contributed positively to performance. The Fund’s position in intermediate term corporate bonds contributed positively to performance while its position in short term government bonds contributed less positively to performance. In addition, the Fund benefited from its overweight to Baa-rated bonds (rating levels from Aaa through Baa — ranked highest to lowest — constitute the “investment grade” portion of the credit spectrum) as spreads tightened throughout the bottom tier of the investment grade spectrum.

The WisdomTree CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Strategy Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Index (the ‘‘Index’’), utilizing a strategy of writing put options on the Russell 2000 Index. The strategy is designed to receive a premium from the option buyer by selling (i.e. writing) a sequence of one-month, at-the-money, Russell 2000 Index put options.

The Fund returned -9.39% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). U.S. equity markets saw significant periods of volatility during the past fiscal year, where the Russell 2000 Index often lost value in short periods of time, which means that the Fund’s underlying put options would finish “in-the-money” and the Fund would have to pay the option buyer the difference between the option strike price and the value of the Russell 2000 Index. That payment, coupled with the volatility in the market, significantly hampered performance. Small-cap equities, represented by the Russell 2000 Index, were especially sensitive to negative market sentiment, periods of risk-off appetite, and news related to the U.S.-China trade war. The premiums received from writing put options each month during the fiscal period did provide modest downside protection. As a result, the Fund’s performance for the fiscal year was better than the performance of the Russell 2000 Index.

U.S. equity markets saw significant periods of volatility during the past fiscal year, where the S&P 500 Index often lost value in periods of time much shorter than the one-month lifespan of the Fund’s option contracts. The premiums received from selling put options each month were not enough to capture significant upside when the market rallied, despite modest protection on the downside, and the Fund was not able to finish the fiscal year with positive performance.

The WisdomTree Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to provide investors with positive total returns in rising or falling markets that are not directly correlated to broad market equity or fixed income returns. The Fund is managed using a quantitative, rules-based strategy and invests in a combination of diversified futures contracts for commodities, currencies and interest rates.

The Fund returned -0.22% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). The largest contributors to the Fund’s performance were its positions in natural gas and cotton. The largest detractors to the Fund’s performance were its positions in heating oil and corn. As of August 31, 2019, the Fund did not have any open exposure to either natural gas or heating oil. The Fund’s long exposure to natural gas in November 2018 captured a large spike in the price of natural gas due to its increased demand and limited storage. This position contributed significantly to the return to the Fund. The Fund’s short position in cotton also contributed to the Fund’s performance as the U.S.-China trade war intensified and the price of cotton slumped. The Fund’s long exposure to heating oil from September 1, 2018 through May 31, 2019, contributed negatively to performance due to the decreased global demand for oil and increased U.S. oil supply. The Fund’s long position in corn futures also detracted from the Fund’s performance, as U.S.-China trade frictions combined with larger-than-expected corn plantings reported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture caused corn prices to significantly fall in August 2019.

Bond Spread:

A bond spread is the difference between the yields of two bonds with differing credit ratings. Most often, a corporate bond with a certain amount of risk is compared to a standard risk-free Treasury Bond. The bond spread will show the additional yield that could be earned from a bond which has a higher risk. Generally, bond spreads are often a good barometer of economic health - widening (bad) and narrowing (good).

CBOE® Russell 2000 PutWrite Index:

The CBOE® Russell 2000 PutWrite Index tracks the value of a cash-secured (i.e. collateralized) put option sales strategy, which consists of selling (or “writing”) Russell 2000® Index put options and investing the sale proceeds in one-month Treasury bills.

Each month the DTI Index sector exposure is rebalanced back to the fixed weights, 50% physical commodities and 50% financials (when energy is long) and approximately 40% commodities and 60% financials (when energy is flat). Each sector (other than the energy sector) is positioned either long or short depending on the current market environment (the energy sector is positioned as either “long” or “flat” (i.e., no exposure)). The DTI Index individual market components, sectors and related weightings, as well as other aspects of the calculation of the DTI Index, are subject to change at any time.

Equal-Weighted Emerging Currency Composite:

A composite incorporating equal-weighted exposure to the currencies within the Emerging Currency Strategy Fund was constructed as an additional gauge of Emerging Currency Strategy Fund performance. The composite tracks the returns for the currencies using the total returns of the country subindices of the JP Morgan Emerging Local Markets Index Plus (ELMI+). Each subindex uses a weighted basket of one-month, two-month and three-month currency forwards (deliverable or nondeliverable) collateralized with U.S. money market rates to proxy the total returns of an investment in local-currency money market instruments. Currency exposures are rebalanced back to equal-weighting at the end of the month in which the Emerging Currency Strategy Fund intends to rebalance, and currency changes are reflected in the composite at the end of the month they are reflected in the Fund.

JP Morgan Emerging Local Markets Index Plus (ELMI+) China:

The China subindex uses a weighted basket of one-month, two-month and three-month currency forwards collateralized with U.S. money market rates to proxy the total returns of an investment in Chinese yuan money market instruments. The returns are reported in U.S. dollar terms.

Risk-on and Risk-off:

Investors’ appetites for risk rise and fall over time. During periods when risk is perceived as low, the risk-on risk-off theory states that investors tend to engage in higher-risk investments (i.e. “Risk-on”). When risk is perceived to be high, investors have the tendency to gravitate toward lower-risk investments (i.e. “Risk-off”).

Russell 2000® Index:

The Russell 2000® Index is a capitalization-weighted index that is comprised of the smallest 2,000 securities in the Russell 3000 Index, based on total market capitalization.

Total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period and redemption on the last day of the period. Total return calculated for a period of less than one year is not annualized. For the periods in which the investment advisor waived advisory fees, the total return would have been lower if certain expenses had not been waived (Notes 2 and 3).

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes such exposure to be remote.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:

Basis of Consolidation The financial statements of the Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the “Parent Fund”), include the accounts of WisdomTree Managed Futures Portfolio I, a wholly-owned and controlled Cayman Islands subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”). For the Parent Fund, the accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position and results of operations on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Parent Fund seeks to gain exposure to commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in its Subsidiary. The Parent Fund’s investment in its Subsidiary may not exceed 25% of the Parent Fund’s total assets at the end of each fiscal quarter in order to meet the requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in the net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation — The net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund’s shares is calculated each day a Fund is open for business as of the regularly scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (the “NAV

Calculation Time”). NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Each Fund issues and redeems shares at NAV only in large blocks of shares known as creation units, which only certain institutions (e.g. broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Shares of each Fund are listed on a national securities exchange and trade at market prices. Most investors will buy and sell shares in the secondary market through brokers. Because Fund shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV or less than NAV. In calculating each Fund’s NAV, investments are valued under policies approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board of Trustees”). Fixed income securities (including short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less and to-be-announced (‘‘TBA’’) securities) generally are valued at current market quotations or mean prices obtained from broker-dealers or independent pricing service providers. Broker-dealers or independent pricing service providers, in determining the value of securities, may consider such factors as recent transactions, indications from broker-dealers yields and quoted prices on similar securities, and market sentiment for the type of security. U.S. fixed income securities may be valued as of the announced closing time for such securities on any day that the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association announces an early closing time. Repurchase agreements are valued at par which represents their fair value. Except for U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund, foreign currency contracts are valued daily using WM/Reuters closing spot and forward rates as of 4:00 p.m. London time. U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund uses WM/Reuters closing spot and forward rates as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time to value foreign currency contracts daily. For the Chinese Yuan Strategy Fund, Emerging Currency Strategy Fund, Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund and the Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund, WM/Reuters closing spot and forward rates as of 2:00 p.m. Singapore time are used to value forward foreign currency contracts in the following Asian currencies: Chinese renminbi, Chinese yuan, Hong Kong dollar, Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, Malaysian ringgit, Philippine peso, Singapore dollar, South Korean won, Taiwan dollar, and the Thai baht. Futures contracts generally are valued at the settlement price, the price at which a futures contract settles once a given trading day has ended, on the primary exchange on which they trade. Option contracts generally are valued at the mean of the closing bid/ask price on which they trade. Equity securities (including preferred stock) traded on any recognized U.S. or non-U.S. exchange are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or system on which they are principally traded. Unlisted equity securities (including preferred stock) are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if no sale price is available, at the mean between the highest bid and lowest ask price. Each Fund may invest in money market funds which are valued at their NAV per share and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs” or “ETF”) or exchange-traded notes (“ETNs” or “ETN”) which are valued at their last sale or official closing price on the exchange on which they are principally traded or at their NAV per share in instances where the ETF or ETN has not traded on its principal exchange.

In certain instances, such as when reliable market valuations are not readily available or are not deemed to reflect current market values, a Fund’s investments, which include derivatives, will be fair valued in accordance with the Fund’s pricing policy. The Board of Trustees has established a pricing committee (the “Pricing Committee”) which is comprised of senior representatives of WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (‘‘WTAM’’) and which reports to the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. In the event that a financial instrument cannot be valued based upon a price from a national securities exchange, independent pricing service provider or broker-dealer quotation, or such prices are deemed to not reflect current market value, the Pricing Committee may value the financial instrument in good faith under the policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees based on current facts and circumstances. Securities that may be valued using “fair value” pricing may include, but are not limited to, securities for which there are no current market quotations, securities whose issuer is in default or bankruptcy, securities subject to corporate actions (such as mergers or reorganizations), securities subject to non-U.S. investment limits or currency controls, and securities affected by “significant events.” An example of a significant event is an event occurring after the close of the market in which a security trades but before a Fund’s next NAV Calculation Time that may materially affect the value of a Fund’s investment (e.g., government action, natural disaster, or significant market fluctuation). When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

Fair Value Measurement — In accordance with Codification Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the price that each Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to be used when determining fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk — for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing model) and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuation are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

Investments that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (e.g., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation or market activity; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (e.g., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which a Fund’s NAV is computed and that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s investments).

The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair market value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3 positions are as follows:

Financial instruments are generally valued by independent pricing service providers that use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. Depending on the type of financial instrument, the independent pricing service providers’ internal pricing models may use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Financial instruments that use similar valuation techniques and observable inputs as described above and have an appropriate level of market activity are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise a Level 3 fair value classification is appropriate. Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These instruments are normally valued on the basis of broker-dealer quotations or prices obtained from independent pricing service providers. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the value of the financial derivative instruments can be estimated by an independent pricing service provider using a series of techniques including simulation pricing models. The pricing models may use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, credit risks/spreads, interest rates, yield curves, default and exchange rates. Derivative contracts that use similar valuation techniques and observable inputs as described above and have an appropriate level of market activity are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise a Level 3 fair value classification is appropriate.

Determination of a fair value by the Pricing Committee may include significant unobservable inputs and therefore such financial instruments would be reflected as a Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Pricing Committee may employ a market-based valuation approach which may use, among other potential considerations, related or comparable securities, recent transactions, market multiples, and other relevant information to determine fair value. The Pricing Committee may also use an income-based valuation approach in which anticipated future cash flows of the financial instrument are discounted to calculate fair value.

The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used as of August 31, 2019 in valuing each Fund’s assets:

Securities are being fair valued using significant unobservable inputs by the Pricing Committee.

During the fiscal year or period ended August 31, 2019, there were no significant transfers into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivatives and Hedging Disclosure — Codification Topic 815 (“ASC 815”), Derivatives and Hedging, requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The Funds have invested in derivatives, specifically foreign currency contracts, futures contracts and options contracts during the year or period ended August 31, 2019 and open positions in such derivatives as of August 31, 2019 are detailed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. All of the derivative instruments disclosed and described herein are subject to credit risk. Credit risk is where the financial condition of an issuer of a security or instrument may cause it to default or become unable to pay interest or principal due on the security or where the counterparty to a derivative contract might default on its obligations. The Funds’ derivative agreements also contain credit-risk related contingent features which include, but are not limited to, a percentage decline in the Funds’ NAV over a specified time period. If an event occurred at August 31, 2019 that triggered a contingent feature, the counterparty to the agreement may require the Funds to post additional collateral or terminate the derivative positions and demand payment. Any collateral posted with respect to the derivative positions would be used to offset or reduce the payment. The maximum exposure to derivatives agreements with credit-risk related contingent features would be the total value of derivatives in net liability positions for each Fund, as disclosed on page 176. Information with respect to the amounts and types of collateral received and/or posted for derivative instruments as of August 31, 2019, if any, is reflected as a footnote below the respective derivatives tables on each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

As of August 31, 2019, the effects of such derivative instruments on each Fund’s financial position as reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are presented in the summary below:

For the period December 13, 2018 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2019.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost method. Interest income (including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts), net of any foreign taxes withheld, is accrued daily. Generally, amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized daily using the effective interest method (also known as scientific amortization method). Payment-in-kind (‘‘PIK’’) interest income is accrued daily and the increase in a security’s principal amount related to such PIK interest income is recorded on the coupon payment date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.

Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions that are deemed appropriate by WTAM. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on investments are included as a component of net realized gain (loss) from investment transactions and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investment transactions, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency contracts are included in net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency contracts and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation/depreciation from foreign currency contracts, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arising from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses recognized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends/interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency related transactions and/or increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in the Statements of Operations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains or losses are included in, or are a reduction of, ordinary income in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations.

Expenses/Reimbursements — Under the investment advisory agreement for each Fund, except for Funds that commenced operations on or after March 26, 2013, WTAM has agreed to pay all expenses of the Trust, except for: (i) brokerage expenses and other expenses (such as stamp taxes) connected with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions; (ii) legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; (iii) compensation and expenses of trustees who are not interested persons of the Funds (“Independent Trustees”); (iv) compensation and expenses of counsel to the Independent Trustees; (v) compensation and expenses of the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (‘‘CCO’’); (vi) extraordinary expenses; (vii) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; and (viii) the advisory fee payable to WTAM.

Under the investment advisory agreement for Funds that commenced operations on or after March 26, 2013, WTAM has agreed to pay all expenses of the Trust, except for: (i) brokerage expenses and other fees, charges, taxes, levies or expenses (such as stamp taxes) incurred in connection with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions (including without limitation any fees, charges, taxes, levies or expenses related to the purchase or sale of an amount of any currency, or the partition or repatriation of any security or other asset, related to the execution of portfolio transactions or any creation or redemption transactions); (ii) legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; (iii) compensation and expenses of each Independent Trustee; (iv) compensation and expenses of counsel to the Independent Trustees; (v) compensation and expenses of the Trust’s CCO; (vi) extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the Independent Trustees); (vii) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; (viii) interest and taxes of any kind or nature (including, but not limited to, income, excise, transfer and withholding taxes); (ix) fees and expenses related to the provision of securities lending services; and (x) the advisory fee payable to WTAM.

Acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFEs”) (which are fees and expenses incurred indirectly by a Fund through its investments in certain underlying investment companies) are not operating expenses of the Funds and are not paid by WTAM.

Pursuant to a separate contractual arrangement, WTAM arranges for the provision of CCO services with respect to each Fund, and is liable and responsible for, and administers, payments to the CCO, the Independent Trustees and counsel to the Independent Trustees. WTAM receives a fee, as shown on the Statements of Operations under “Service fees”, of up to 0.0044% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets for providing such services and paying such expenses. WTAM provides CCO services to the Trust.

Repurchase Agreements — Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which a Fund acquires securities or other obligations as collateral from a commercial bank or securities broker-dealer and simultaneously commits to resell them to the counterparty at an agreed upon date or upon demand and at a price reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the acquired obligations. This is designed to result in a fixed rate of return for the Fund insulated from market fluctuations during the holding period. Each Fund maintains custody of the acquired collateral prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special “tri-party” custodian or sub-custodian that maintains separate accounts for both the Fund and the counterparty. Because repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities, they are subject to market and credit risk on the acquired collateral in addition to counterparty credit risk. The acquired collateral is valued on a daily basis at fair value to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. If the acquired collateral declines in value and becomes less than the repurchase price, plus any agreed-upon additional amount, the counterparty must provide additional collateral so that at all times the collateral value is at least equal to the repurchase price plus any agreed-upon additional amount. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, a Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligations. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Currency Strategy Funds, except the U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund, utilized forward foreign currency contracts (‘‘Forward Contract’’) to obtain net long exposure to foreign currencies consistent with each Currency Strategy Fund’s investment strategy. The U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund utilized Forward Contracts to obtain net short exposure to foreign currencies consistent with its investment strategy. The Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund utilized Forward Contracts to obtain long and short exposures to foreign currencies consistent with its investment objective. The Yield Enhanced Global Aggregate Bond Fund utilized Forward Contracts to offset applicable foreign currency exposure on its international bonds. The Managed Futures Strategy Fund utilized Forward Contracts to obtain long and short exposures to the Japanese Yen consistent with its investment objective. A Forward Contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are principally traded in the inter-bank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large, commercial banks) and their customers. A Forward Contract generally does not require an initial margin deposit and no commissions are charged at any stage for trades. However, if a Fund is in an unrealized loss position on a Forward Contract, it may be required to pledge collateral (or additional collateral) to the counterparty. If a Fund is in an unrealized gain position on a Forward Contract, it may receive collateral from the counterparty.

Risks may arise upon entering into Forward Contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar or each other.

Fluctuations in the value of open Forward Contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses on Forward Contracts by the Funds and included in net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from foreign currency contracts on the Statements of Operations. Realized gains and losses on Forward Contracts include net gains or losses recognized by the Funds on contracts which have settled are included in net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency contracts on the Statements of Operations.

Futures Contracts — The Duration Funds utilized futures contracts to obtain short exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds to hedge against a rise in interest rates. The Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund utilized futures contracts on U.S. Treasury bonds to manage interest rate risk. The Managed Futures Strategy Fund utilized futures contracts to obtain long and short exposures to currencies, commodities and interest rates consistent with its investment objective. When a Fund purchases a listed futures contract, it agrees to purchase a specified reference asset (e.g., commodity, currency or Treasury security) at a specified future date. When a Fund sells a listed futures contract, it agrees to sell a specified reference asset (e.g., commodity, currency or Treasury security) at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the Fund enters into the contract. The exchange clearing corporation is the ultimate counterparty for all exchange-listed contracts, so credit risk is limited to the creditworthiness of the exchange’s clearing corporation.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or government securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin”. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, generally are made or received by the Fund each day or at other agreed-upon time periods depending on the

fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts, except that in the case of certain futures contracts variation margin payments may be made or received when the futures contract expires. Variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the financial futures contract is closed, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures. The current one-day variation margin on open futures contracts is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either a receivable or a payable for ‘‘Net variation margin on futures contracts’’. The variation margins received or paid by the Funds on both open and closed futures contracts are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, in whole or in part, as a component of, or an offset to, ‘‘Deposits at broker for futures contracts’’. When a Fund purchases or sells a futures contract, the Fund is required to “cover” its position in order to limit the risk associated with the use of leverage and other related risks. To cover its position, a Fund will segregate assets consisting of, or take other measures with respect to, cash or liquid securities that, when added to any amounts deposited with a futures commission merchant as margin, will “cover” its position in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act or the rules and SEC interpretations thereunder. This will function as a practical limit on the amount of leverage which a Fund may undertake and on the potential increase in the speculative character of a Fund’s outstanding portfolio securities.

Options Contracts — The CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Strategy Fund and the CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Strategy Fund (the “Funds”) utilized option contracts by writing put options on the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index, respectively, consistent with their investment objective. A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy, the underlying security or financial instrument. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security or financial instrument. A premium is paid to the writer of an option as consideration for undertaking the obligation in the contract. The Funds may purchase and write options on an exchange or over the counter (“OTC”). OTC options differ from exchange-traded options in several respects. They are transacted directly with dealers and not with a clearing corporation, and therefore entail the risk of nonperformance by the dealer. OTC options are available for a greater variety of securities and for a wider range of expiration dates and exercise prices than are available for exchange-traded options. Because OTC options are not traded on an exchange, pricing is done normally by reference to information from a market maker.

When the Funds purchase an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Funds is recorded as an asset, the value of which is marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased. If the purchased option expires, the Funds realize a loss equal to the amount of premium paid. When a security or financial instrument is purchased or sold through the exercise of an option, the related premium paid is added to the basis of the security or financial instrument acquired or deducted from the proceeds of the security or financial instrument sold.

When the Funds write an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Funds is recorded as a liability, the value of which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option written. If the option expires, the premium received is recorded as a realized gain. When a written call option is exercised, the difference between the premium received plus the option exercise price and the Funds’ basis in the underlying security (in the case of a covered written call option), or the cost to purchase the underlying security (in the case of an uncovered written call option), including brokerage commission, is recognized as a realized gain or loss. When a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium received is subtracted from the cost of the security purchased by the Funds from the exercise of the written put option to form the Funds’ basis in the underlying security purchased.

The purchaser or writer of an option may close the position before the exercise of the option by entering into a closing transaction. In the case of a written option, the cost of a closing transaction is deducted from the original premium received resulting in a realized gain or loss to the Funds. With respect to a purchased option, the original premium paid is deducted from the proceeds received from a closing transaction resulting in a realized gain or loss to the Funds.

Written options may constitute a fair value guarantee on a financial asset under the provisions of FASB Codification Topic 460 — Guarantees. The Fund’s maximum payout for written put options is limited to the number of contracts written and the associated strike prices. At August 31, 2019, the maximum payout for written put options for the CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Strategy Fund and the CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Strategy Fund was $888,000 and $214,149,000, respectively. The maximum payout for written call options is potentially unlimited to the extent that the written call option is uncovered.

The Funds’ risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premiums paid. The risk in writing a covered call option is that the Funds may forego the opportunity of profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing an uncovered call option is that the Funds are exposed to the risk of loss if the market price of the underlying security increases. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised. In addition, there is the risk that the Funds may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

Other significant risks associated with the Funds’ use of options contracts may include the following: (1) the success of a strategy may depend on the Fund adviser’s ability to predict movements in the prices of individual commodities, currencies or securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (2) there may be an imperfect or no correlation between the changes in

market value of the commodities, currencies or securities and the price of options; (3) although the Funds intend to enter into options contracts only if there is an active market for such contracts, there is no assurance that an active market will exist for the contracts at any particular time; (4) trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange; and (5) government regulations may restrict trading in options contracts.

Securities Lending — Each Fund may lend portfolio securities to certain creditworthy borrowers, including the Funds’ securities lending agent. It is the Funds’ policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral in the form of cash and/or high-grade debt obligations, equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities, is maintained at all times. The cash collateral can be invested in certain money market mutual funds which also have exposure to the fluctuations of the market. The values of the investments of cash collateral for securities on loan along with the obligations to return such collateral are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The total value of securities received as collateral for securities on loan is included in a footnote following each Schedule of Investments, but is not included within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities because the receiving Fund does not have the right to sell or repledge the securities received as collateral. Each Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees, all of which are included in the securities lending income earned by the Funds and disclosed on the Statements of Operations. The dividend and interest income earned on the securities loaned is accounted for in the same manner as other dividend and interest income. The borrower pays to the Funds an amount equal to any dividends or interest received on loaned securities. Dividends received while a security is out on loan are not considered Qualified Dividend Income (“QDI”) under the specific criteria issued by the Internal Revenue Service and are subject to taxation at the shareholder’s ordinary income tax rate instead of the lower long-term capital gains tax rate. Lending portfolio securities could result in a loss or delay in recovering each Fund’s securities if the borrower defaults. In the event of a borrower default with respect to the failure to return to each Fund some or all of the securities loaned, the securities lending agent shall indemnify each Fund against the failure of the borrower.

Master Netting Arrangements — ASU No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”) is generally intended to (i) help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company’s financial position, (ii) improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, and (iii) facilitate comparisons between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of international financial reporting standards. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose (i) gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements, and (ii) instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is limited in scope to the following financial instruments, to the extent they are offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement: (i) recognized derivative instruments accounted for under ASC 815 (Derivatives and Hedging); (ii) repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements; and (iii) securities borrowing and securities lending transactions.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives (“OTC”), such as Forward Contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms, netting and rights of set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and receivables to create a single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

Collateral requirements generally differ by type of derivative. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives (e.g. foreign exchange contracts, options and certain swaps). Generally, for transactions traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are calculated by netting the marked to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its derivatives counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from a counterparty’s non-performance.

Repurchase agreements are subject to the terms and conditions of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“Master Repurchase Agreement”) between a Fund and a counterparty. In the event of a default or failure by a party to perform an obligation with respect to a repurchase transaction, the Master Repurchase Agreement gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply collateral held by it in connection with a repurchase transaction against obligations owed to the non-defaulting party.

The Funds’ security lending activities are governed by a Securities Lending Authorization Agreement (“Lending Agreement”) between the Funds and the lending agent. The Lending Agreement authorizes the lending agent to lend qualifying U.S. and foreign securities held by a Fund to approved borrowers (each a “Borrower”). To mitigate borrower risk, a Fund typically receives from a Borrower collateral in the form of U.S. dollar cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies in excess of the market value of the securities loaned. Under the provisions of the Lending Agreement, a Fund shall have, as to the collateral, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law. A Fund is exposed to risk of loss if a Borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities and the value of the collateral a Fund received is insufficient to cover the market value of the securities loaned. Also, the lending agent is permitted to invest the cash collateral it receives from a Borrower into a money market fund which is subject to market fluctuation. Therefore, a Fund is exposed to risk of loss if the value of invested cash collateral is insufficient to satisfy the Fund’s obligation to return the full amount owed to such Borrower.

The Funds’ futures contracts and option contracts are all exchange traded and are not subject to master netting arrangements. Therefore, all futures contracts and option contracts are excluded from the netting table below.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds elect to not offset assets and liabilities subject to an ISDA Master Agreement, Master Repurchase Agreement or Lending Agreement, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of August 31, 2019, the impact of netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement, Master Repurchase Agreement and the Lending Agreement are detailed in the following table:

Short-Term Investments — Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in high-quality money market instruments on an ongoing basis to provide liquidity or for other reasons. The instruments include short-term obligations issued by the U.S. government, its agencies, non-U.S. government agencies, negotiable certificates of deposit (“CDs”), fixed time deposits and bankers’ acceptances of

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

U.S. and foreign banks and similar institutions, commercial papers, repurchase agreements and money market funds. CDs are short-term negotiable obligations of commercial banks. Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits maintained in banking institutions for specified periods of time at stated interest rates. Banker’s acceptances are time drafts drawn on commercial banks by borrowers, usually in connection with international transactions.

To-be-announced Transactions — Interest Rate Hedged U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund, Negative Duration U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund, Yield Enhanced U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund and the Yield Enhanced U.S. Short-Term Aggregate Bond Fund invest in U.S. agency mortgage-backed pass-through securities which are securities issued by entities such as Government National Mortgage Association and Federal National Mortgage Association that are backed by pools of mortgages. Most transactions in mortgage-backed pass-through securities occur for future delivery in which the exact mortgage pools to be delivered are not specified until a few days prior to settlement, referred to as a “to-be-announced transaction” or “TBA Transaction.” In a TBA Transaction, the buyer and seller agree upon general trade parameters such as agency, settlement date, par amount and price. The actual pools delivered generally are determined a few days prior to the settlement date; however, it is not anticipated that the Interest Rate Hedged U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund, Negative Duration U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund, Yield Enhanced U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund and the Yield Enhanced U.S. Short-Term Aggregate Bond Fund will take delivery of pools, but instead will participate in rolling TBA Transactions whereby instead of receiving pools on the purchase settlement date, the position is offset by a current sale of the TBA security with a simultaneous forward purchase of a substantially similar TBA security (i.e. same type, coupon, maturity) to settle on a specified future date.

Short Sale Transactions — Each Fund may enter into “short sale” transactions in which a Fund sells a security that it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of that security. When a Fund enters into a short sale transaction, the Fund will borrow the security and deliver it to the counterparty to which the Fund sold the security short. An amount equal to the proceeds received by the Fund is reflected as an asset in “Receivables for investment securities sold” and an equivalent liability in “Securities sold short, at value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the securities sold short. Any interest or dividends that accrue on the securities borrowed are shown as an interest expense or dividend expense in the Statement of Operations of the Fund. A realized gain, limited to the proceeds received at which the Fund sold the security short, or a realized loss, unlimited as to the dollar amount, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the cost to close out the short sale transaction is either less than (in the case of a gain) or greater than (in the case of a loss) the proceeds received. The risk of loss on a short sale transaction is potentially unlimited unlike the risk of loss on a long position, which is limited to the amount paid for the investment plus transaction costs. Funds entering into short sale transactions are exposed to the risk that they may be unable to close out a short sale position at any particular time or at an acceptable price.

Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded RICs and their shareholders, each Fund must, among other things, distribute with respect to each taxable year an amount equal to or greater than the sum of 90% of its investment company taxable income and 90% of its net tax-exempt interest income. There can be no guarantee that a Fund will pay dividends. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Funds may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Trust reserves the right to declare special distributions if, in its reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of each Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their Federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions that exceed earnings and profit for tax purposes are reported for tax purposes as a return of capital.

3. ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

WTAM has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Trust. WTAM provides an investment program for each Fund. WTAM has arranged for Mellon Investments Corporation (‘‘Mellon’’) to provide sub-advisory services to the Funds, except for Yield Enhanced U.S. Short-Term Aggregate Bond Fund and Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund which are sub-advised by Voya Investment Management Co., LLC (‘‘Voya IM’’). Mellon and Voya IM are compensated by WTAM at no additional cost to the Funds. WTAM also arranges for transfer agency, custody, fund accounting, fund administration, securities lending and all other non-distribution related services necessary for the Funds to operate, which are generally under separate agreements entered into between the Trust on behalf of the Funds and the applicable service provider. Under the investment advisory agreement for each Fund, WTAM agrees to pay all expenses of the Funds, except for certain expenses described in Note 2.

WTAM has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee in an amount equal to the AFFEs attributable to the Fund’s investments in each Underlying Fund. For the period December 13, 2018 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2019, the annualized AFFEs attributable to the Fund’s investment in the Underlying Fund were 0.06% of the Fund’s average net assets for the period.

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, the Managed Futures Strategy Fund received a voluntary reimbursement of $3,400 from Mellon for investment losses on certain futures contract transactions. The dollar amount of the reimbursement is shown in the Statements of Operations in “Net realized gain from payment by sub-advisor”.

Each Fund may purchase shares of affiliated ETFs in secondary market transactions to reduce cash balances and/or to implement its investment strategy. For these transactions, WTAM waives its advisory fees for each Fund’s investment in affiliated funds. The dollar amount of advisory fees waived during the period for the Funds, if any, are shown in the Statements of Operations in “Expense waivers”.

Affiliated holdings are holdings in funds which are managed by, or an affiliate of, WTAM. Transactions with affiliated funds during the fiscal year or period ended August 31, 2019 are as follows:

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

As of August 31, 2019, there were an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust. Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in creation units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in creation units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Generally, Funds issue and redeem shares on a cash basis, however, shares may also be issued or redeemed in kind. Investors purchasing and redeeming creation units may be charged a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of creation units.

5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding purchases and sales resulting from in-kind capital share transactions and short-term investments) and the cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales resulting from in-kind capital share transactions (excluding short-term investments) for the fiscal year or period ended August 31, 2019 are shown in the following table.

Certain financial derivatives may be considered section 1256 contracts under the Code. Each section 1256 contract held at the close of a taxable year shall be treated as sold for its fair market value on the last business day of such taxable year (and any realized gain and loss shall be taken into account for the taxable year). As such, the unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) for financial derivatives on a tax basis may not correspond to the unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) on a GAAP basis. The unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) for financial derivatives on a GAAP basis is located in the respective financial derivatives tables in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

These differences are primarily due to net loss from book income/net realized loss from wholly owned foreign subsidiaries, redemptions-in-kind, and net operating losses.

GAAP provides guidance on tax provisions that prescribe a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. As of and during the fiscal year or period ended August 31, 2019, the Funds did not have any liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in the future. If applicable, the Funds will recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statements of Operations. The Funds file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service, the State of New York, and various other states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended August 31, 2019, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On August 17, 2018, the SEC voted to adopt “Disclosure Update and Simplification” amendments to certain of its disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded, in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, GAAP, or changes in the information environment. The SEC will also be referring to the FASB certain SEC disclosure requirements that overlap with, but require information incremental to, GAAP for potential incorporation into GAAP. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly

altering the total mix of information provided to investors. These amendments became effective on November 5, 2018. WTAM has evaluated these amendments and determined that there is no significant impact on the Trust’s financial statements and related disclosures. The specific amendments incorporated into the Trust’s financial statements pertain to (i) the amendment requiring the presentation of the distributable earnings in total on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, rather than showing the 3 components of distributable earnings (i.e., (1) undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income, (2) accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments and (3) net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, and (ii) the amendment requiring the presentation of distributions to shareholders in total on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, except for tax return of capital distributions, which shall continue to disclosed separately.

On August 28, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 includes removals, additions and modifications to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements that are intended to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. WTAM has evaluated ASU 2018-13 and has adopted the disclosure framework for the Trust’s financial statements and the impact to the Trust’s financial statements was immaterial.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (concluded)

 

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Table of Contents

 

The WisdomTree Funds are exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as separate series (“Funds”) of WisdomTree Trust (“Trust”). WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of WisdomTree Investments, Inc., serves as the investment adviser to the Trust. None of the WisdomTree entities are affiliated with Foreside Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ distributor. WisdomTree Investments, its affiliates and their independent providers are not liable for any informational errors, incompleteness, delays, or for any actions taken in reliance on information contained herein.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Funds carefully before investing. A prospectus, containing this and other information, is available at www.wisdomtree.com, or by calling 1-866-909-WISE (9473). Investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. There are risks associated with investing, including possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Indexes are unmanaged and you cannot invest directly in an index.

There are risks associated with investing including possible loss of principal. Foreign investing involves special risks, such as risk of loss from currency fluctuation or political or economic uncertainty. Investments in real estate involve additional special risks, such as credit risk, interest rate fluctuations and the effect of varied economic conditions. Funds that focus their investments in one country or region may be significantly impacted by events and developments associated with the region which can adversely affect performance. Funds focusing on a single sector and/or smaller companies generally experience greater price volatility. Investments in emerging, offshore or frontier markets are generally less liquid and less efficient than investments in developed markets and are subject to additional risks, such as risks of adverse governmental regulation and intervention or political developments. Investments in currency involve additional special risks, such as credit risk and interest rate fluctuations. Derivative investments can be volatile and these investments may be less liquid than other securities, and more sensitive to the effect of varied economic conditions. As these Funds can have a high concentration in some issuers the Funds can be adversely impacted by changes affecting such issuers.

Fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise. In addition, when interest rates fall, income may decline. Fixed income investments are also subject to credit risk, the risk that the issuer of a bond will fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that bond to decline. High-yield or “junk” bonds have lower credit ratings and involve a greater risk to principal. One of the risks associated with the Managed Futures Strategy Fund (WTMF) is the complexity of the different factors which contribute to the Fund’s performance, as well as their correlation (or non-correlation) to other asset classes. These factors include use of long and short positions in commodity futures contracts, currency forward contracts, swaps and other derivatives. An investment in WTMF is speculative and involves a substantial degree of risk. WTMF should not be used as a proxy for taking long only (or short only) positions in commodities or currencies. In markets without sustained price trends or markets that quickly reverse or “whipsaw” WTMF may suffer significant losses. Unlike typical exchange-traded funds, there are no indexes that the actively managed Currency Strategy Funds, actively managed Fixed Income Funds or WTMF attempt to track or replicate. Thus, the ability of these Funds to achieve their objectives will depend on the effectiveness of the portfolio manager. Due to the investment strategy of certain Funds they may make higher capital gain distributions than other ETFs. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for specific details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.

Transactions in Fund shares will result in brokerage commissions and will generate tax consequences. Shares may be sold through brokerage accounts, but may be redeemed from the Funds by Authorized Participants in large creation unit sizes of shares.

  (e)(1)

Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Per Rule 2-01(c) (7) (A), the registrant’s audit committee charter provides that the audit committee shall select and approve in advance the retention of independent accountants to annually audit and provide their opinion on the registrant’s financial statements. The audit committee must also approve prior to appointment the engagement of the principal accountant to provide other audit services to the registrant or to provide non-audit services to the registrant, its investment adviser, or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with its investment adviser (“adviser/affiliate”) that provides ongoing services to the registrant, if the engagement by the investment adviser or adviser affiliate relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. The audit committee must also, prior to appointment of the engagement of the principal accountant, review and approve the fees proposed to be charged to the registrant by the auditors for each audit and non-audit service. The audit committee must also consider whether non-audit services provided by the registrant’s principal accountant to the registrant’s investment adviser, or adviser/affiliate that provides ongoing services to the registrant are compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence.

 

  (e)(2)

The registrant’s audit committee has approved 100% of services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

  (g)

EX-99.CODE ETH

WISDOMTREE TRUST

CODE OF ETHICS

FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND FINANCIAL OFFICERS

 

I.

PURPOSE OF THE CODE

The WisdomTree Trust (the “Trust”) Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Financial Officers (this “Code”) is intended to serve as the code of ethics described in Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Item 2 of Form N-CSR. This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Trust for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Trust, the Trust’s adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers, as defined herein, who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Trust’s and its investment adviser’s, and principal underwriter’s codes of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

All Covered Officers must become familiar and fully comply with this Code. Because this Code cannot and does not cover every applicable law or provide answers to all questions that might arise, all Covered Officers are expected to use common sense about what is right and wrong, including a sense of when it is proper to seek guidance from others on the appropriate course of conduct.

The purpose of this Code is to set standards for the Covered Officers that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

   

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

   

full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Trust files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in any other public communications by the Trust;

 

   

compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

 

   

the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to the appropriate persons as set forth in the Code; and

 

   

accountability for adherence to the Code.


II.

COVERED PERSONS

This Code applies to the Trust’s Principal Executive Officers and Principal Financial Officers, or any persons performing similar functions on behalf of the Trust (the “Covered Officers”). Each Covered Person should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest. Covered Officers are expected to act in accordance with the standards set forth in this Code.

 

III.

HONEST AND ETHICAL CONDUCT

 

  A.

Honesty, Diligence and Professional Responsibility

Covered Officers are expected to observe both the form and the spirit of the ethical principles contained in this Code. Covered Officers must perform their duties and responsibilities for the Trust:

 

   

with honesty, diligence, and a commitment to professional and ethical responsibility;

 

   

carefully, thoroughly and in a timely manner; and

 

   

in conformity with applicable professional and technical standards.

Covered Officers who are certified public accountants are expected to carry out their duties and responsibilities in a manner consistent with the principles governing the accounting profession, including any guidelines or principles issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants from time to time.

 

  B.

Objectivity/Avoidance of Undisclosed Conflicts of Interest

Covered Officers are expected to maintain objectivity and avoid undisclosed conflicts of interest. In the performance of their duties and responsibilities for the Trust, Covered Officers must not subordinate their judgment to personal gain and advantage, or be unduly influenced by their own interests or by the interests of others. Covered Officers must avoid participation in any activity or relationship that constitutes a conflict of interest unless that conflict has been completely disclosed to affected parties and waived by the Trustees on behalf of the Trust. Further, Covered Officers should avoid participation in any activity or relationship that could create the appearance of a conflict of interest.

A conflict of interest would generally arise if, for instance, a Covered Officer directly or indirectly participates in any investment, interest, association, activity or relationship that may impair or appear to impair the Covered Officer’s objectivity or interfere with the interests of, or the Covered Officer’s service to, the Trust.

 

2


Any Covered Officer who may be involved in a situation or activity that might be a conflict of interest or give the appearance of a conflict of interest must report such situation or activity using the reporting procedures set forth in Section VI of this Code.

Each Covered Officer must not:

 

   

use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Trust whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Trust;

 

   

cause the Trust to take action, or fail to take actions, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Trust; or

 

   

use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Trust to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions.

Each Covered Officer is responsible for his or her compliance with this conflict of interest policy.

 

  C.

Preparation of Financial Statements

Covered Officers must not knowingly make any misrepresentations regarding the Trust’s financial statements or any facts in the preparation of the Trust’s financial statements, and must comply with all applicable laws, standards, principles, guidelines, rules and regulations in the preparation of the Trust’s financial statements. This section is intended to prohibit:

 

   

making, or permitting or directing another to make, materially false or misleading entries in the Trust’s financial statements or records;

 

   

failing to correct the Trust’s financial statements or records that are materially false or misleading when he or she has the authority to record an entry; and

 

   

signing, or permitting or directing another to sign, a document containing materially false or misleading financial information.

Covered Officers must be scrupulous in their application of generally accepted accounting principles. No Covered Officer may (i) express an opinion or state affirmatively that the financial statements or other financial data of the Trust are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, or (ii) state that he or she is not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such statements or data in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, if such statements or data contain any departure from generally accepted accounting principles then in effect in the United States.

 

3


Covered Officers must follow the laws, standards, principles, guidelines, rules and regulations established by all applicable governmental bodies, commissions or other regulatory agencies in the preparation of financial statements, records and related information. If a Covered Officer prepares financial statements, records or related information for purposes of reporting to such bodies, commissions or regulatory agencies, the Covered Officer must follow the requirements of such organizations in addition to generally accepted accounting principles.

If a Covered Officer and his or her supervisor have a disagreement or dispute relating to the preparation of financial statements or the recording of transactions, the Covered Officer should take the following steps to ensure that the situation does not constitute an impermissible subordination of judgment:

 

   

The Covered Officer should consider whether (i) the entry or the failure to record a transaction in the records, or (ii) the financial statement presentation or the nature or omission of disclosure in the financial statements, as proposed by the supervisor, represents the use of an acceptable alternative and does not materially misrepresent the facts or result in an omission of a material fact. If, after appropriate research or consultation, the Covered Officer concludes that the matter has authoritative support and/or does not result in a material misrepresentation, the Covered Officer need do nothing further.

 

   

If the Covered Officer concludes that the financial statements or records could be materially misstated as a result of the supervisor’s determination, the Covered Officer should follow the reporting procedures set forth in Section VI of this Code.

 

  D.

Obligations to the Independent Auditor of the Trust

In dealing with the Trust’s independent auditor, Covered Officers must be candid and not knowingly misrepresent facts or knowingly fail to disclose material facts, and must respond to specific inquiries and requests by the Trust’s independent auditor.

Covered Officers must not take any action, or direct any person to take any action, to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate or mislead the Trust’s independent auditor in the performance of an audit of the Trust’s financial statements for the purpose of rendering such financial statements materially misleading.

 

IV.

FULL, FAIR, ACCURATE, TIMELY AND UNDERSTANDABLE DISCLOSURE

It is the Trust’s policy to provide full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Trust files with, or submits to, the SEC and in any other public communications by the Trust. The Trust has designed and implemented Disclosure Controls and Procedures to carry out this policy.

Covered Officers are expected to familiarize themselves with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Trust, and to use their best efforts to promote, facilitate, and prepare full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in all reports and documents that the Trust files with, or submits to, the SEC and in any other public communications by the Trust.

 

4


Covered Officers must review the Trust’s Disclosure Controls and Procedures to ensure they are aware of and carry out their duties and responsibilities in accordance with the Disclosure Controls and Procedures and the disclosure obligations of the Trust. Covered Officers are responsible for monitoring the integrity and effectiveness of the Trust’s Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

V.

COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS

Covered Officers are expected to know, respect and comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the conduct of the Trust’s business. If a Covered Officer is in doubt about the legality or propriety of an action, business practice or policy, the Covered Officer should seek advice from the Covered Officer’s supervisor or the Trust’s legal counsel.

In the performance of their work, Covered Officers must not knowingly be a party to any illegal activity or engage in acts that are discreditable to the Trust.

Covered Officers are expected to promote the Trust’s compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. To promote such compliance, Covered Officers may establish and maintain mechanisms to educate employees carrying out the finance and compliance functions of the Trust about any applicable laws, rules or regulations that affect the operation of the finance and compliance functions and the Trust generally.

 

VI.

REPORTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY

All Covered Officers will be held accountable for adherence to this Code. Each Covered Officer must, upon the Trust’s adoption of this Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that he/she has received, read, and understands this Code by signing the Acknowledgement Form attached hereto as Appendix A. Thereafter, each Covered Officer, on an annual basis, must affirm to the Board that he/she has complied with the requirements of this Code.

Covered Officers may not retaliate against any other Covered Officer of the Trust or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith.

The Trust will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

 

  A.

Any Covered Officer who knows of any violation of this Code or who questions whether a situation, activity or practice is acceptable must immediately report such practice to the Trust’s Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall take appropriate action to investigate any reported potential violations. If, after such investigation, the Audit Committee believes that no violation has occurred, the Audit Committee is not required to take any further action. Any matter that the Audit Committee believes is a violation will be reported to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. The Audit Committee shall respond to the Covered Officer within a reasonable period of time.

 

5


  B.

If the Covered Officer is not satisfied with the response of the Audit Committee, the Covered Officer shall report the matter to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. If the Chairman is unavailable, the Covered Officer may report the matter to any other member of the Board of Trustees. The person receiving the report shall consider the matter, refer it to the full Board of Trustees if he or she deems appropriate, and respond to the Covered Officer within a reasonable amount of time. If the Board of Trustees concurs that a violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may include review of and appropriate modifications to applicable policies and procedures or notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board.

 

  C.

If the Board of Trustees determines that a Covered Officer violated this Code, failed to report a known or suspected violation of this Code, or provided intentionally false or malicious information in connection with an alleged violation of this Code, the Board of Trustees may take disciplinary action against any such Covered Officer to the extent the Board of Trustees deems appropriate. No Covered Officer will be disciplined for reporting a concern in good faith.

To the extent possible and as allowed by law, reports will be treated as confidential. The Trust may report violations of the law to the appropriate authorities.

 

VII.

DISCLOSURE OF THIS CODE

This Code shall be disclosed to the public by at least one of the following methods in the manner prescribed by the SEC, unless otherwise required by law:

 

   

Filing a copy of this Code as an exhibit to the Trust’s annual report on Form N- CSR;

 

   

Posting the text of this Code on the Trust’s Internet website and disclosing, in its most recent report on Form N-CSR, its Internet address and the fact that it has posted this Code on its Internet website; or

 

   

Providing an undertaking in the Trust’s most recent report on Form N-CSR to provide a copy of this Code to any person without charge upon request, and explaining the manner in which such a request may be made.

 

VIII.

  WAIVERS

Any waiver of this Code, including an implicit waiver, granted to a Covered Officer may be made only by the Board of Trustees or a committee of the Board to which such responsibility has been delegated, and must be disclosed by the Trust in the manner prescribed by law and as set forth above in Section VII (Disclosure of this Code).

 

6


IX.

AMENDMENTS

This Code may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees. Any amendment of this Code must be disclosed by the Trust in the manner prescribed by law and as set forth above in Section VII (Disclosure of this Code), unless such amendment is deemed to be technical, administrative, or otherwise non-substantive. Any amendments to this Code will be provided to the Covered Officers.

 

X.

CONFIDENTIALITY

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the Audit Committee, the legal counsel to the Trust, legal counsel to the independent trustees and such other persons as a majority of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees, shall determine to be appropriate.

Adopted: February 2007
